Landscape Consulting
Not sure where to begin? Let’s talk it through.
We listen first, then offer clear, practical advice to help you get the most from your space. Fitzroy gardens usually have narrow footprint, shared borders and distinct light conditions, therefore proper planning is the key.
Whether you want to understand which plants will thrive in an inner-city microclimate, or you want early clarity on materials and layout, we guide you through each step without the overwhelm.
- Selection of plants to Fitzroy micro-climates.
- Existing plant problems diagnosis.
- Garden bed rejuvenation
- Continued maintenance programs.
- Paving options and stone selection
- Functional and aesthetic retaining walls.
- Drainage solutions
- Turf alternatives for small spaces
- Ornamental vs productive planting
- Raised and vegetable garden setups
Landscape design Fitzroy and garden makeovers.
Any garden must seem as though it was a natural continuation of your house, even in the middle of the inner city.
We design spaces that balance beauty and function, from contemporary courtyards and rooftop-style gardens to leafy retreats tucked behind period homes. We will always design to suit your lifestyle and the reality of living in Fitzroy.
A garden sometimes only requires a new look. Our garden makeovers breathe new life into tired spaces through smarter layouts, improved planting, upgraded hardscapes, and features like lighting or water elements. The goal is simple: make you fall in love with your outdoors.
Landscape Construction
This is where strategies become a reality.
We build retaining walls, stone pathways, decks, pergolas, and custom garden features, always with durability and finish front of mind. The inner-city sites require accuracy and planning and that is where experience comes in.
We do construction such as paving, decking, retaining walls and water features.
Our team produces work that we are proud to have our name on, whether it is a small upgrade of a courtyard or a bigger multi-stage construction.
Development approval (DA) in Fitzroy.

FAQs
Do you offer landscape design and construction in Fitzroy?
Yes – we offer both landscape design and construction services in Fitzroy and surrounding areas. Whether you’re starting from scratch or upgrading an existing garden, we can handle everything from initial concept to completion.
How much does landscaping cost in Fitzroy?
Every landscaping project is different, so the cost really depends on the size of your space and the level of detail involved. Some clients want a complete transformation, while others are after a few key upgrades. After an initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear estimate based on your vision, priorities, and the scope of work.
Can you help with council permits or heritage overlays in Fitzroy?
Yes — Fitzroy has a number of overlays that affect landscape work. We’re familiar with the local council regulations and can help manage the permit process if your project requires approval.
What types of gardens do you specialise in?
We design a wide range of gardens, from low-maintenance modern spaces to lush, layered planting schemes. Our designs are tailored to your home, lifestyle, and preferences — whether you love native gardens, formal symmetry, or something more contemporary.
Do you offer retaining wall solutions for sloped blocks?
Absolutely. Many homes in Fitzroy sit on sloped land, so retaining walls are often essential — not just for function, but also for form. We offer a range of options including bluestone, timber, concrete sleeper and custom masonry.
How long will my landscaping project take?
Timeframes depend on the scale of the project. Most projects take between 4 to 12 weeks once construction begins, but we’ll give you a clear schedule once we’ve finalised your design and scope of works.
Do you work with existing gardens, or only do complete redesigns?
We do both. Some clients in Fitzroy want a full garden overhaul, while others are looking to upgrade specific areas like front yards, pool zones or outdoor entertaining areas. We’re happy to help either way.
Can I see examples of your work nearby?
Yes — we’ve completed several projects in and around Fitzroy. You can view selected projects on our website, or we can share more examples during your consultation.
Who will be managing my project?
Every project is personally overseen by Simon, our director and lead designer. From your first consultation to the final walk-through, Simon is involved every step of the way — ensuring your landscape is delivered with care, attention to detail, and a designer’s eye for balance and beauty.
What’s the process for starting a landscaping project with you?
It starts with a conversation. We’ll meet on-site to understand your vision, lifestyle, and how you use the space. From there, we move into the design phase — developing a tailored concept that reflects both form and function. Once you’re happy with the design, we move into construction. Simon manages the project from start to finish, keeping everything on track and ensuring the final result matches the original vision.
